Unloading The Machine; Internal Handling; Checking Delivery For Missing Items; Dealing With Shipping Damage - Hettich BlueMax Mini Modular Instructions De Service

Handling
Skilled personnel must be employed for handling the machine
in the proper manner (low distortion, secure positioning,
packaging etc.).
The machine is normally moved with lifting equipment
(fork-lift truck etc.) or with approved handling equipment in
compliance with regulations. Moving the machine on fork-lift
trucks requires adequate lifting capacity.
After moving the machine, every part of it must be checked
for shipping damage as possible harm may impair system
operation and safety.

Unloading the machine

Always observe the safety rules. 25 kg may be lifted by one
person. Pay attention to total weight.
Danger!
Warning! There is an elevated risk of injury and
accidents!
Make sure that:
• only experienced, qualified persons are given the task of
unloading,
• load suspension devices are carefully attached and secured,
• the suspended load never presents a hazard on lifting it,
and
• the machine is always lifted vertically and never dragged at
an angle.
Danger!
Never stand or work under loads suspended on lifting
gear.
• Set the machine down without bumps or jolts as well as
in an upright-standing position. Immediately protect it
from getting damaged by transportation vehicles and from
tipping over.
• On unloading, handling and keeping the machine in
temporary storage, treat it with the greatest possible care
and protect it from the weather, impact of external force
and from falling objects.
• Be sure to provide the safety clearance zone around the
machine.

10. Internal handling

• To move the machine internally, only use trolleys of
sufficient stability and load-bearing capacity.
• Always avoid bumps and shocks when moving the machine.
• Provide protruding objects (motors, mobile cable handlers,
wiring harnesses, hoses, cylinders) with effective protection
from damage.
Note!
When using fork-lift trucks to move the machine
observe the regulations on industrial trucks.

11. Checking delivery for missing items

• Refer to the order confirmation or the list in this operating
manual as well as the delivery note to ascertain what
should be included.
• Check delivery immediately on arrival to make sure it is
complete.
• Report missing parts straight away to the forwarder
delivering the machine (notice of loss) and also immediately
inform Hettich FurnTech GmbH & Co. KG.

12. Dealing with shipping damage

Immediately after arrival and unloading, thoroughly check the
machine for any shipping damage, i.e for externally visible
damage (fractures, dents, kinks, cracks etc.).
Any suspected shipping damage must immediately be:
• reported in writing to the shipping company making the
delivery (forwarder) and/or
• reported in writing to your own insurance company as well
if the transportation risk was insured by the owner.
Note!
Delayed notification may lead to loss of insurance
cover.
The usual period for reporting damage is only 24 h (delivery
by mail) or 7 days after delivery.
Always document shipping damage by:
• taking photographs
• making a sketch with exact marking of the damage (do this
using a copy of the machine overview) and
• providing a detailed description (report).
As a precautionary measure in your notification to the for-
warder / insurer, also include so-called „hidden" shipping
damage that can only be identified after dismantling the
machine, i.e., make a written reservation in respect of the
actual scope of damage that is initially only visible on the
outside.
Always send a copy of damage notification to Hettich
FurnTech GmbH & Co. KG.
If it is necessary to dismantle the machine or items of equip-
ment, only have this done by skilled personnel from Hettich
FurnTech GmbH & Co. KG.
